The effect of weak magnetism on the shape of the 114In beta energy spectrum KU Leuven
The Standard Model of particle physics has proven to be extremely successful in describing our world at the smallest scales. However, despite its tremendous successes there remain some open questions to be solved. The Standard Model has throughout its history been shaped by the results of precision studies of (nuclear) beta decay. Today, these precision studies remain one of many complementary paths to look for promising hidden clues for ...
Structure and magnetism of metastable y-Fe nanoparticles in SrTiO3 KU Leuven
Iron (Fe), one of the most abundant elements on Earth, can appear in different structural phases associated with contrasting magnetic properties, depending on temperature and pressure. The most common phase is a-Fe, which has a body-centered cubic (bcc) structure and is ferromagnetic. Another iron allotrope, y-Fe, a high temperature phase in bulk, has a face-centered cubic structure (fcc). However, this iron allotrope has been stabilized at ...

Geometric, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Transition Metal Doped Silicon Clusters, and Development of a Magnetic Deflection Setup KU Leuven
The aim of the work presented in this thesis is to provide deeper understanding on the geometric, electronic, and magnetic properties of gas phase clusters as a function of size and composition using a combination of the spectroscopic techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The thesis is divided into four parts. A review of recent research on the structural identification of doped silicon clusters is given in Part I. In ...
